Hu Changze was scared out of his wits. After a problem occurred with his right hand, he couldn't bear the shock and fell into a trance. He usually looked like a fool. Now that he had experienced such a thing, he became even more foolish. He didn't know how to respond to Master Cao's question. After Hu Wei said a few words, he nodded his head, indicating that Hu Wei's words were his intention.

Sun Ye Xuan and Sun Ling Yu pursed their lips. Sun Lingyu muttered, "A person who abandons his marriage for the sake of money and even finds a classmate to bully his fianc?e, is someone who has the qualifications to be called kind?"

When the surrounding onlookers heard Sun Lingyu's words, the skeptical crowd immediately became convinced. They looked at the Hu family with disdain. Hu Yang Shi felt embarrassed, and immediately scolded: "Sun Ye Xuan, you little b * stard, how innocent do you think you are? It's not clear that the one who usually follows a few noble young master, but the one who doesn't know shame is obviously you! "

"Aunt Yang, you have to rely on your conscience when you speak. Which of your eyes can't see me or them? What's more, even if I do have one, I haven't thought of all sorts of ways to force my fiance to death. In terms of being despicable and shameless, how could I be more despicable and shameless than all of you? Whether this was done by your son or not, you know. I won't argue with you guys, I just want to ask sire to help us make clear our decision. " Sun Ye Xuan said.

At this moment, Master Cao's emotions were extremely complicated. This case had originally been about his son, but now it had extended to the feud between Sun Ye Xuan and her ex-fiance. Cao Yu had changed from a foppish young lord to a benefactor, while a harmless scholar had turned into the villain of a fiancee who wanted to murder his childhood sweetheart for fame and fortune. How else could such a case be judged? How should he judge?

Outside the crowd, Sun Yuanjie stared angrily at Hu Wei and Hu Changze. He squeezed through the crowd and called out, "My lord, please make the decision for my daughter."

"Father!" Sun Ye Xuan and Sun Ling Yu shouted in unison, "Why are you here?"

"If I don't come and see you, are you planning to keep it a secret from me?" Sun Yuanjie angrily said, "The Hu Family has gone too far in bullying us. They must give us an explanation for this matter."

"Brother Sun, this is a misunderstanding. Our Ze'er was raised by you. You know his personality very well. He wouldn't do such a thing." Hu Wei said anxiously.

"The evidence is conclusive. Do you still want to argue that you did not place your lord in your eyes?" Sun Yuanjie sneered and said, "If you continue to lie to your excellency, your crime will be even greater."

Master Cao didn't want to hear any more of this nonsense. The whole matter was very clear. Cao Yu was guilty. He shouldn't have taken away Tang Shulan, and he shouldn't have injured Sun Lingyu either. However, the one who was truly hateful was Hu Changze.

"This official pronounces the judgement. According to the law of our country, he is the son of an official, and should be sentenced to a severe punishment. Now he was sentenced to a thousand taels of silver and imprisoned for three years. Hu Changze, an Elementary Scholar from the Hu Family Village, had an unrighteous personality and had a treacherous personality. Fortunately, he had not succeeded in his conspiracy, and the Sun Family's young lady had escaped disaster. and a fine of one hundred silver taels, thirty more boards, and a prison term of half a year. " Master Cao said majestically, "This official has not yet recovered from your serious illness. These thirty tablets will be written down first. Do you have any objections after your illness has recovered?"

Sun Ye Xuan understood that Master Cao's judgement on Cao Yu was very serious. A thousand taels of silver was enough for an ordinary person to live his entire life, and he, the dignified young master of the Shangguan family, was going to be imprisoned for three years. Whether they were nobles or commoners, as long as they had been in jail, they would be tainted with dirt for the rest of their lives. Senior Cao's action was equivalent to destroying his son's entire life. He would never be able to make it to the office in his life.

Sun Ye Xuan did not guess wrong. Master Cao indeed had such a thought. Cao Yu's personality was unrestrained. If he were to enter the imperial court and become an official, he would definitely provoke a lot of trouble. It would be better if he lost the possibility of becoming an official from the very beginning.

Madam Cao's father, also known as Master Cao's father-in-law, was someone who doted heavily on Cao Yu. As long as it was something Cao Yu wanted, he would find a way to hand it over to her. He also had great power to force her to act willfully. Perhaps today's matter was considered lucky for them. If it hadn't been for this matter, Cao Yuzhu's father-in-law would have arranged for her to become an official.

"Old master!" "If Yu'er were to go to jail, there would be no possibility of her being an official in the future," she said. Are you really going to cut off his future? "

"Madam, don't worry." His personality is not suitable for being an official, so there's nothing bad about being like this. " Master Cao sighed, "Three years is not a long time, let's wait patiently! After experiencing this incident, he should grow up now. Madam, please do not spoil this unfilial son. If you continue to indulge him, it will be too late for you to regret it in the future. "

Mistress Cao still wanted to argue, but Mistress Cao's body and mind were exhausted, so she said to Su Jian Yun: "Take Madam down, the case has already become a foregone conclusion, it will not be changed."

"Madam, please leave!" Su Yun said respectfully: "Regarding the matters of the imperial court, please do not make things difficult for the lord. If my Lord's colleagues were to find out about this, they would definitely laugh at my Lord. "

"I don't want to make things difficult for him. But that was my only son, and he was going to take him to jail. Forget it! How could he listen to me when I was old and lost my color? Since my words are useless, I will find someone who can speak to him. Master Cao, just you wait! Even if I wanted to send Yu-er to jail, my father would not agree to it. " Madam Cao said hatefully.

Sun Ye Xuan saw Madame Cao squat down and say something to Cao Yu. Cao Yu was hit twenty times, and her body felt extremely uncomfortable. She would groan from time to time, but she didn't say anything unpleasant to Sun Ye Xuan. He was so quiet that Sun Ye Xuan was not used to it, it was as if the past few days' struggle had been against others, and not against them.

As for Hu Wei, Hu Yang and Hu Changze. Hu Wei fell into despair and Hu Yang collapsed. Hu Changze had already passed out from the shock. Hu Changze's two classmates also lost their qualifications to take the exam. There were three direct victims to this matter. Tang Shulan's reputation had been washed clean. Sun Ling Yu received 500 silver in treatment fees, and Sun Ye Xuan regained her former clean reputation.

Sun Yuanjie looked at Hu Wei coldly, then helped his precious daughter up. He looked at the injured Sun Lingyu with disdain, "It's fine if your brain isn't as good as your brother's, but even brute force is so useless."

"Dad, you're my father, right?" Sun Lingyu helplessly said.

"I don't want to admit it, but your mother will take care of me." Sun Yuanjie curled his lips and said, "Every time something happens, I need your sister to wipe your ass. You're so stupid, I really have a whole new level of respect for you."

Master Cao gave his final judgement, and Cao Yu and Hu Changze followed suit. In fact, the prisoners in the prison could use the money to reduce the penalty. If Hu Wei spent a sum of money, Hu Changze would return very soon. However, he would forever lose the qualifications to take the exam. No matter how much money he had, he would never be able to buy back their hopes for the future. That was why the Huweys were so desperate.

"Miss Sun ?" When they left the yamen, the onlookers finally dispersed, leaving only a few people at the door. A carriage sped over and stopped in front of them.

Meng Zhixiao lifted the curtain and jumped down from the carriage the moment he saw Sun Ye Xuan. Feng Zimo also got off the car with him. The two handsome noble young masters looked at her worriedly.

"We just received the news. I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to help you. " Meng Zhixiao frowned and said, "If we were here, that brat Cao Yu wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly."

"It's all right. Sooner or later, this matter would have to be resolved by himself. Even if you can help me this time, you won't be able to help me for the rest of my life. " Sun Ye Xuan lightly said.

"Second brother Sun is injured?" Meng Xiaoxiao noticed the wounds on Sun Lingyu's body. Her eyes flashed with a fierce light. How does Miss Sun want to vent her anger? I'll go find that brat Cao Yu.

"Then you will have to find him in the prison. Master Cao locked him up and said that he would not be released within three years. " Sun Yanxuan said, "I believe that there will be a lot of people setting off cannons today to celebrate this joyous event. Cao Yu wasn't wandering around the town. To the people living in the town, having a few years of peaceful life was already a very happy thing. "

"Master Cao, you really did it." Meng Zhixiao muttered, "Madam Cao's parents are not easy to deal with. This matter won't end so easily. There's still more to it!"

"Thank you, young master Meng, for your information. We will be prepared for it." Sun Ye Xuan said gently: "If there's nothing else, we'll have to go back first. Big Sister Tang was frightened and had to go and pacify her mother. "We have to hurry back and think about what happened today in our minds. If Cao Yu's grandfather really does come looking for us, we must make some mental preparations."

"Don't worry." "If Cao Yu's grandfather really does come looking for you, Young Master Feng and I will help you deal with him." Meng Zhixiao said sincerely, "You should go back and rest first. I'll come look for you another day."

"Alright, thank you Young Master Meng." As Sun Ye Xuan listened to Meng Xiaoxiao's words, she felt her heart warm. Whatever his purpose, she would be grateful if he could help her.

Tang Shulan returned to the spice shop. Lady Tang stood at the doorway, her haggard face streaked with tears. She stretched out her head to look ahead, anticipating Tang Shulan's return.

If it was any other mother or woman who was kidnapped by a popinjay, they would definitely think of all sorts of ways to snatch her back. From this, it could be seen that Madame Tang wasn't someone with a sense of responsibility. Tang Shulan was a weak girl who had yet to leave the pavilion, yet she still needed to look after a weak woman who had lost her husband and son.

Sun Lingyu drove the ox-cart back to Hu Jia Village. As soon as they stepped into the village, a few of them appeared. They looked at the Sun family members in a flattering manner, wanting to know if anything had happened in the town.

Sun Ye Xuan was not a talkative person. As for the Hu family's matters, the Hu family could handle them on their own. They just had to take care of their own matters. Since this town was only so big, even if they hadn't said anything, with so many people present at that time, this matter would have been spread even more exaggeratedly. Furthermore, the Sun family and the Hu village did not have a deep relationship with each other, so there was no need to deal with them. They wanted to curry favor with the Sun family, what were they going to do now? If they hadn't shown the slightest bit of dissatisfaction and disdain, she wouldn't have been so heartless to them.

"You're finally back." When Sun Meng saw Sun Ye Xuan, she wanted to complain, but found Sun Lingyu lying behind the ox-cart. Her expression changed greatly as she asked in shock, "What's wrong with Yu'er?"

"I'm fine." Sun Yuanjie didn't want Sun Meng to worry, so he avoided the issue by saying, "First help that brat into the room to rest, just a little injury. Xuanxuan will just need to give him some medicine to drink a few mouthfuls."

"Mom, we're a bit tired." Sun Ye Xuan sighed: "We'll talk about it later. Let's take Second Brother to rest first. "He's not a big problem, it's just that the wound looks scary, but it's actually nothing."
